Government spends millions on cruel cat experiments

The U.S. government’s allocation of millions in taxpayer dollars for cat experimentation has been exposed in Sen. Rand Paul’s latest Festivus report, with findings from the White Coat Waste Project revealing disturbing details.

The Department of Defense channeled nearly $11 million into what’s been termed an “Orwellian Cat Experiment” at the University of Pittsburgh, conducted under DARPA’s supervision. The procedure involved making surgical incisions in male cats’ backs to expose their spinal cords, followed by electric shock administration through electrodes to induce erections.

“But the horror doesn’t end there. These cats were then subjected to even more electric shocks, sometimes for up to 10 minutes at a time, before having their spinal cords severed to paralyze their lower bodies. And just for good measure, the shocks continued for another 10 minutes. All this, in the name of ‘science.'”

Another DARPA experiment involved spinal cord electrode placement and the insertion of peculiar objects into cats’ bodies, with one feline enduring 11 minutes of electric shocks to force marble expulsion.

Meanwhile, the NIAID and USDA invested $2.24 million at Cornell University for COVID-19 transmission studies in cats. The experiments involved deliberately infecting healthy cats and monitoring their decline until death, with some euthanized after just two days.

The NIH contributed to this concerning pattern by spending over $1.5 million on motion sickness research. Their methodology included restraining female kittens on rotating hydraulic platforms, exposing them to intense lighting, and administering copper sulfate to induce vomiting.

The report suggests that such experimentation, costing taxpayers millions, would likely face strong public opposition if widely known.
